Ura nage and Variations

Ura Nage, or “Rear Throw,“ is a powerful judo technique classified as a sacrifice throw (Sutemi Waza). In Ura Nage, the tori (person executing the throw) pulls the opponent backward while dropping their own body backward, using their legs and hips to lift and throw the opponent over their shoulder or back. This technique is particularly effective when an opponent is pushing forward aggressively, allowing the tori to use the opponent’s momentum against them. The importance of Ura Nage in judo lies in its ability to turn a defensive situation into an offensive one. When an opponent pushes forward, Ura Nage allows the tori to counteract that force with a dynamic and powerful throw. This technique teaches judokas the value of using an opponent’s energy and movement to their advantage, a core principle in judo.
